"Build-A-Boy" (or "How I Spent My Summer Vacation Part 2")


Most people buy the "accessories" for the bear they just made. Not my brother. He tries the accessories on his son. Much to our enjoyment! While spending a few days in Hotlanta with the Rogers, my favorite son decided he wanted his cousin to go to "Build-A-Bear" for the first time. His treat. Too sweet. Now they each own matching bears with matching clothes (Alabama t-shirts!) and reversed names. (Elijah's bear is named Noah; Noah's bear is named Elijah.) I would normally say that this is too cheesy for words, but... April tells us that Noah loves his bear, and I know a boy who adores his baby cousin.
Our visit was too short. Always is. And, I don't say this just beacause of Noah. We do adore him. (This was actually Dan's first time to see him!) But, it is always hard to leave when we've all been together. I am glad we'll be a little closer on the map for a while.

It's never too early to teach one to accessorize! We're ready for you all to come back and visit again, we miss you lots!

Ok, yes cheesy but he did get it honest!! Drew thinks Noah looks like he may be a future state trooper!! Too cute! We must get together next time y'all come to visit the Wrenn crew. We are dying for y'all to meet our boy! Lots of love!
